HELP With BA Upgrade to WM5 - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I just bought a BA and want to upgrade it to use either the AKU2.6 or AKU3.2. I got to setp 3 below:
3. Modify the operator in the ROM as needed:
Determine your operator Information e.g.: "T-MOB101", or "Vodafone", or O2. See GetDeviceData.
(I did this the operator is "XGULA001")
*
Open a command prompt, go to the folder where the ROM file resides (nk.nbf) and execute: SetOperator ???
(where ??? is your operator)
(I used the Microsoft command promp and went to where the nk.nbf file is located. After the C:\> I typed "\cd\Documents and Settings\John\My Documents\WM2k5_AKU2.6_32mb_v1.1.2\" as this is where the nk.nbf file is. Then I typed the command SetOperator XGULA001.
I get the following error:
"Set Operator is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I figured it out. There's a few mistakes in the instructions. The nf.nkb file has to be moved to the file where the appropriate rom is found before running the setoperator command prompt.
Also, one must fully reboot after the hard reset and connect to the PC via Active Sync before running the rom upgrader.
Whoever made these WM5 ROMS for the BA should receive a reward. They're awesome.
Thanks

Siemens SX66 and Country Code Error

This post is intended to save those who are experiencing the country code error on a Siemens SX66 / Cingular Wireless device the 5 hours of headache it took me to figure out how to upgrade to the latest ROM available directly from Siemens (1.33.110).
1.) Download this file.
http://communications.siemens.com/c...1774_rArNrNrNrN_prodId:76051,00.html#Firmware
2.) This in an exe, but DON'T run it immediately. It is an installshield package - open it with Winzip or Winrar and extract it to a folder of your choosing.
3.) In that folder, you will find several nbf files, a few exes, and a file named RUU.conf.
4.) In RUU.conf you will find the following:
[PLATFORM]=667685
[RADIO_TYPE]=1
[SECURITY_FLAG]=1
[DECODER_KEY]=1
[RADIO_FLAG]=1
5.) Add this line:
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
6.) Save the file. Make sure your unit is connected to the USB cradle, is fully charged, and is on. Run BaUpgradeUt.exe out of the folder you're working in. You'll see that on the first run, you don't get the country code error. It will show you the old version you're upgrading away from, and the new version you're upgrading to. Proceed with the upgrade.
7.) You'll see the device go blank as it goes into bootloader mode. A few seconds later, you'll see the country code error. THAT'S OK - DON'T PANIC. Just close the application, and restart BaUpgradeUt.exe again.
8.) You should experience a successful ROM upgrade at this point - you're done. Hard reset the unit per the instructions and you're good to go.
9.) I can be contacted at josh [AT] pinwheeltech [DOT] com.

operator code killed?????

hello
i patched my ba several times but yesterday i got the failure message country code wrong.
i run getdivicedata and get this info:
P H 2 0 B W W E AT%CID?  5 . 0 3 . 0 2 0.0 1.13.00 % 4
how can i "repair/fix" my operator code
thanx
Your operator is 'T%CID?'
It is fine - same as mine
This proceedure is all over the forum.
This is what I do:
1) create a new file on ur desktop C drive - call it ROM
2) copy and paste NK.nbf and setoperator files to this new file
3) start - run - type 'cmd' - ok
4) type 'cd\'
5) type 'cd rom\'
6) type 'setoperator T%CID?' - enter
7) your NK.nbf file is now changed to your operator code
8) copy and paste NK.nbf back to your file
9) and flash your ROM using BaUpgradeUt
to flash your ROM:
1) press softrest+pwr+record button at the same time
2) you will see a white screen on your BA with 'SERIAL' letters on top
3) put BA in cradle and allow few seconds for the computer to pair with it
4) run BaUpgradeUt to flash your ROM
Should work
No dude, its not your operator code thats gone wrong...How did you set the operator in the first place? if you used the setoperator, did you enter the 8 digit alpha numeric code, ie. T-MOB001 or XGULA001 or whatever ur code is?
Well, what i would suggest is that you open the Setoperator.bat file using Notepad, make sure it is for you device and language. Then change the operator code using the normal procedure.
Now, use xda3nbftool to check that the values have been set correctly (hint: see how the commands display in DOS when you do the setoperator procedure)
Hopefuly this might help! Good Luck!

all my device data became scrambled during a rom update once, i just reflashed again, using the no_id tool and it went back to normal.

thanks for all the hard work, please help me with my 8125

hello there, i have been a member of this board for a little while, but never posted, here goes. i have a cing 8125 and do not know what i am doing wrong updating the rom. got it right when it released in cali with rom 1.??. tried using Lokiwiz 02a, 02b, plain, ect. every time the dos screen just dissapears, no reboot, nothing on the phone. i have been able to update to submitters 2.17. at least it changed a few things. got the new comm manager screen, icons in different places on today screen, ect. however, no updated themes or ringtones ever. i have tried 2.17, the latest 3 in 1 installer, the 2.25 update from cingular and htc. i AM able to change the os number on the boot screen. i have even paid and downloaded an unlocker program from some uk company, but it wants me to select a key file which i do not possess. i think my problem is that it is not unlocked. just today i downgraded to 1.8.11.1 and tried to use lokiwiz and lokiwiz02b. same deal, screen just dissapears. no listing of an unlock number. :?: i am now confused.... also, never have had a rom implant a2dp but have been able to send it manually and it works fine. any help would be greatly appriciated. i have tried lokiwiz with/without sim, with/without mem card. is there somethin that i am missing??
Easiest way to do this is to extract lokiwiz to the root of your hard drive ie c:\
Copy enablerapi.cab to your device and run it from there.
Open a Dos windows <Start> <Run> type "cmd" without the quotes.
You will have a black box now on your screen. Type "cd\" again without the quotes and <enter>
type "lokiwiz" without the quotes and <Enter>
Now Unlock and CID Unlock.
You'll now be able to see the status as you do this.
Your phone will soft reset after each action.
Any more questions, ask
btw, the original Lokiwiz thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796 and faria's tutorial is http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848.
Good luck!
thanks steve

is this correct?? cannot find file?? i guess maybe if it actually is already unlocked and i run the program it wont reboot? thanks again :?:
OK. The "The system cannot find the path specified." message says it all. You're NOT unlocked as the unlock program can't run.
Download the program. Extract it to c:\ (Download Winzip if you're confused ... www.winzip.com )
Until you can get past the "path not found" you're not going to work. It really shouldn't be that difficult.
Post you results after you try this please.
Good luck!
THANK YOU
somehow it worked. could be one of a few things i was doing wrong. before i was just executing the .bat file. also was not extracting the entire file to the root of c. i was just copying the bat file to c. could it be that this time i left the sim card in??? thanks.. the odd thing is that i COULD switch around some rom versions including 1.5.4.2 WWE and the latest cingular 2.25 update with no problems, just didnt get all the benifits of all the cooked roms you great people have to offer. let you know how it goes.. thanks again
just wanted to add another note... which rom in your opinion is the most stabe, fastest one out??? the 2.25 from htc and cingular sucks bad. lots of hangups, programs locking up, ect. do not recommend it at all. except decent signal strength... later
I personally like and am using the T-Mobile ROM 2.26 Molski cleaned up Custom T-Mobile 2.26 Rom (Dutch and WWE)
Search for (if you don't have) and install the Cingular Connection cab and you're set to go!

How do I pull built in ringtones off a rom

im using baked goods v1.1 and it includes kspec theme with "master you have a message" notification. when i flash 5.0.5.3 with kspec lite 1.17 it doesnt include this notification. how can i pull this off the old rom and insert into the new one?
thanks
They are in /system/media/audio/notificantions/
Or the same folder structure from the zip and extract it.
when I try and ./adb pull /system/media/audio/notifications/doink.ogg i get the message "-bash: /adb: No such file or directory"
however i have done a listing in shell and know that the file is definitely there, and I have the correct path ??
Why cant I pull this from the phone??
Because either you don't have Android SDK Tools installed on your Linux, or they're not in the path and you're not in the tools' directory. Your Linux doesn't recognize "adb" command.
Or do you mean that you see "adb" file in the current directory, and it still doesn't run? Check for spelling errors, try to use adb without preceding "./".
Have you tried exploring the rom on you sd card with Astro? I have done this several times and just copy/paste the ringtones, notifications or alarms to the appropriate folders in the installed rom.
make sure your in the android sdk directory...
if you are linux it should look something like this
Android-sdk-linux_86>tools then you do the adb command
./adb pull /system/media/audio/notifcations/Ring.ogg (drag a folder or destination in terminal) then hit enter
for windows it should look lik this
android-sdk-windows>tools
adb pull /syste/media/audio/notifications (drag a folder in cmd prompt) then hit enter

[Q] Help on step 7c [TOOLS] Touchpad Toolbox (updated 2015-02-25)

First of all, kudos to jcs for this op. While fairly new at this, I found it very complete. I had to do alot of reading and downloading behind the scenes to get it this far, but so far everything has worked.
As the title suggests, I am stuck on step 7c, in particular where I am trying to run "novacom....certs.sh". I am using ubuntu and had to load "Wine" to get it to recognize the "palmenv.bat" file. So, is there an easy way to run the "nova...." file in ubuntu? Other than finally figuring out how to get and use java in ubuntu, I've been very impressed with that OS.
Here is the error message:
Z:\home\mds\Downloads\WebOS>novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
File not found.
The "Z" directory was the result of running the "wine cmd" as the directory originally was "C". Initially after running the "wine cmd" command, I ran the "palmenv.bat" and it accepted it. However, I was unable to run the "novacom...certs.sh" file, even though it was in the same location.
PS: I have deleted and added spaces in combinations around "<" in the above as I could not tell for sure the correct way.

Did you fully read post #2, part C of the TPTB thread? You should be able to just unzip the TPTB into a folder, open a terminal session in that folder, and run the .sh file that's there. You may need to run it with sudo; that I don't recall.

Yes thanks. The problem boils down to running a ".bat" file then running a ".sh" file. Using Ubuntu, I have been unable to run the .bat file without "wine", then, in "wine", I have been unable to run the ".sh" file.
In windows 7, I can run the ".bat" file, but unable to run the ".sh" file. This is the final step in jcs's op to do a clean install of webos and this particular step fixes the certificates. Ref here step 7d: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756314&page=7
Ubuntu command:
sudo ./tptb_v42_nix.sh
You have to be in the same directory where tptb is...of course the listed command is for version 42.
The .sh file is for Linux not for windows. You cannot run it in "wine".

You're not getting the message. You don't run the batch file in Ubuntu; it's for Windows only. Follow the above post's advice (note the period before the /. It's essential).

So, below is an exact copy (ctrl c, then ctrl v) from page 7 of jcs' op for reinstalling webos.
then run "palmenv" and then run "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh"
Just got back on this project again and have a follow-up question.
From your comment above, I need to add a period here either before the "///" or ".///" slashes or after "bin" or "bin./"?
Here is also a direct copy out of the text file of "fix-webOS-certs.sh"
novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
So, neither place has a period before either of the /'s as you mentioned. Please advise...thanks again.
Thanks and Sorry, I did not see the previous post to yours. In the meantime, I did run it again without knowing where to put the period and I am a little closer to completing the reinstall...but still don't know why I can't get the last line "novacom run file.....certs.sh" to run.
I redid every step again on the tp and got to the screen where you select the "language". I then opened up the command prompt in windows 7, tp still connected, cd'd until I got to the directory where both "palmenv" and "novacom run file..." is located. I ran "palmenv" and got "Setting Novacom Path ....".
I then immediately ran the "novacom run file....." and got "unable to find device".
I checked my device manager under disk drives and the "HP Webos-usb device" was listed with no flags.
I tried it again, but same message.
One other comment on the "novacom run file....". In windows, when I hit the download button on the "goo" website, it actually opens up. In order to download, I had to select all, paste it in notepad, open up notepad and save as the ".sh" file. So, I don't know if that is screwing something up or not. Otherwise, it would not down load or I would not have it. Strangely, it did download in Ubuntu, but that file did not work either.
So, any advice on how I can complete the very final step on running the "novacom run file....certs.sh"?

Thanks. I had thought the .sh file was for Ubuntu, but I received a message that said those sequence of commands from jcs was to be run in windows. Anyway, I believe the above instructions are how to get the tptb running in Ubuntu. If so, that is not the problem. If not, then from that and other messages received, I would run the .bat file from windows, reboot my system and then run the .sh file in Ubuntu adding "sudo ./ to the "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh"?
So, for a recap, per jcs's op, one would open the command prompt in windows, and cd to the correct directory where the palmenv,bat file and fix-webOS-certs.sh reside. Then run "palmenv" the run "novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh" file.
For some reason, I doubt he was suggesting changing from windows to Ubuntu when running these commands, but I may be wrong...as I often am.
I know I'm dumber than a hay rake, but really, can someone please explain in detail for this newbie, what he needs to do to run both of those commands? Refer to a previous post link if unfamiliar with what op I'm trying to perform...and am on the last step 7d
I think the issue is that you are trying to install WebOS.
Not sure of the help you are going to get with that as many of us have moved on a while ago and no
longer have the interest in it. You might want to check on other threads where it is relevant.

Yes, that is what the procedure does that jcs has outlined. And thanks for the reply. I have got webos installed which was the easy part, however, running the last two commands appear to be a matter of proper input...which several advices have been given, but none have worked. I was hoping that someone, other than the author of the procedure, had tried it or at least someone may be familiar enough with this type of input to help. Oh well, thanks again.
Progress with novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh
Was able to finally run novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh after previously receiving unable to locate device message by booting HP Touchpad into developer/USB mode and running novaterm.bat from the terminal folder and connecting from the menu. I was then able to run novacom run file:///bin/sh < fix-webOS-certs.sh from the Command Prompt but it does not appear to have run successfully.

I am trying everything I can to get the HP Touchpad wifi working after having done a complete wipe before a system restore and learning the HP Servers are no longer supporting. I have Cyanogenmod 11 installed and wifi worked for approximately one day after each install. When I try to connect to any access point it only says "saved" afterward and the signal seems to drop to zero while connecting. Another strange occurrence is the fact that the wifi mac address that shows in the advanced menu of Cyanogenmod does not match the previously saved mac address on my home wifi set up as an extra security measure. The mac is the same in the device info menu of WebOS when trying to install but getting the message that servers can not be accessed to finish the install. When it was connected for a short time after Cyanogenmod install the MAC address was correct but since it has changed will not connect and the new address gives an unsupported message when trying to add to my network devices list. I have tried all posted troubleshooting steps as well as having installed Busy Box and attempting to change the Mac address manually. I get operation not supported at that prompt in the Terminal Emulator on the Touchpad. Has anyone come across this or been able to get their HP Touchpad working properly with Cyanogenmod 11?
